Allright so i'm gonna go buy a new knife, don't really need another one, but i WANT another one...LOL. So i been searching around and have found 2, but i can't decide which. The Kbar Heavy bowie or the becker bk7, both made by the same company but alot of differences in knife style. I've watched quite alot of youtube reviews and it seems either one is tough as hell. So my question is which do you own? and what have your experiences with the knife been like? also how has your sheath held up?
Neither - sorry no help.
Can't help ya' either. Besides, this is the one I use the most.

Spreads peanut butter quite well, and does a super job with jelly on an English Muffin.
Besides, it's not sharp, so they let me use it whenever I want. :innocent:
EDIT: It makes a great fighting knife, too!

Buy them both. Try them out. Give the one you don't like to someone you don't like.
Me! Me! Ooooooooo, pick me! I'm dislikable! Really, I am!Quote:

Okay. But do I get the knife? :)
Pathetic, just pathetic.
the BEST all-round knives are either Victorinox or Wenger lock blades, such as the
Ranger, Jaeger or Rucksack model.
I would not waste money on either knife you mention.
So Stony - what experience do you have with the two that are mentioned?
Why is that relevant? Facts, experience, logic - and Stony.... :innocent:Quote:

I'm beginning to sense a pattern developing. Maybe it's just me.Quote:

i use to have the Bk7. the knife is awesome. wasnt really into the givory scales on the handle but i know that you can buy micarta replacements. the sheath it comes with is kinda cheap too. the Bk7 also comes with a smaller blade which i thought was pretty cool. i ended up selling the knife cause i bought a Scrap Yard SOD which is pretty much the same size.
What is it with all the junko sheaths that knife companies put out? You can purchase a really fine knife and you get a piece of junk material that it's wrapped in. Sad.
im with rick
i went with the kbar heavy bowie. I am very happy with its performance, brought it home and headed down to the willow patch behind the house. The sheath holds the blade well. I was not impressed with the bk7 sheath, the knife was great but man that sheath was crap. The knife fit loose so it rattled around when sheathed and the stiching was lousy. I still someday want a bk7 but when i do get one i will have a new sheath made for it
yah the sheath is not good quality at all. what i did to stop the rattle was put a little bit of card board in and it made the knife fit a little better. if you go on ebay or check on chestnut ridge knife shop(i think) you can find nice kydex sheaths for around 30$.
thanks i'll have to keep that in mind. I was suprised they want so much for it and what the hell it would be more secure in my pocket.

With a few exceptions (Scrapyard knives that come w/o ANY sheaths), this seems to still hold true, today.
Keep in mind, the majority of 1970's vintage sheath knives were GI surplus, Case, Camillus, Queen Cutlery, Marbles, Gerber, Western, Schrade, and Buck knives.
Yeah, Randall's were out there but for a 10-year old kid, they were not an option...and at 45, they still aren't!
